Coronary CT Angiography

Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a noninvasive imaging modality that uses multidetector computed tomography with intravenous contrast to visualize the coronary arteries, cardiac anatomy, and surrounding structures with high spatial resolution. This modality enables accurate assessment of coronary artery stenosis, plaque morphology (calcified, noncalcified, or mixed), and congenital or anomalous coronary anatomy. CCTA plays a central role in evaluating patients with stable chest pain, equivocal stress testing, or low-to-intermediate pretest probability of coronary artery disease, offering an excellent negative predictive value and facilitating early diagnosis, risk stratification, and preventive management. Through participation in this course, clinicians strengthen their ability to appropriately select patients for CCTA, interpret key imaging findings, and integrate results into evidence-based clinical decision-making. Learners gain practical knowledge of technical considerations, image acquisition, radiation dose optimization, and common pitfalls, as well as an understanding of how CCTA compares with functional testing and invasive angiography. The course also emphasizes interdisciplinary collaboration among cardiologists, radiologists, technologists, and referring clinicians to optimize diagnostic accuracy, patient safety, and downstream care planning.
